Vol 2 Chapter 1608: Obituary

After seeing Ai Wen nod, Hermione’s crisp voice rang in the room:
Miss Albus Dumbledore, Epheas Doge.
On the day I entered Hogwarts, I met Albus Dumbledore on the Hogwarts train, when I was eleven.
We are all new students of that year, and friendship is established when we enter the same box.
The reason why we are attracted to each other is undoubtedly because we all feel that we are outsiders.
I was infected with dragon acne shortly before I entered school. Although I was no longer infected, my face was sore and my complexion was blue. Not many people were willing to approach me.
Albus, he came to Hogwarts under the pressure of notoriety.
Less than a year ago, his father Percival attacked three young Muggles fiercely, and things were raging. Albus never tried to deny that his father (life imprisonment in Azkaban) committed this crime. On the contrary, when I had the courage to ask him, he made clear to me that he knew his father was guilty.
In addition, Dumbledore refused to talk about this sad thing, although many people wanted to cover him.
Some even relished his father’s actions and concluded that Albus was also a hateful Muggle. But they are very wrong. Anyone who knows Albus can prove that he has never revealed the slightest anti-Muggle tendency. In fact, his practice of resolutely defending the rights of Muggles in the future has given him many enemies.
A few months after enrolling, Albus’s reputation began to outpace his father.
At the end of the first school year, people no longer see him as the son of a hateful Muggle, but as one of the smartest students in the school.
We are fortunate to be his friends, and he has benefited from his example, not to mention that he always gives us help and encouragement.
He told me many years later that he knew that his greatest pleasure lies in teaching.
Not only did he win a variety of important awards from the school, but he quickly maintained frequent communications with the most famous magic masters of the time, including the famous alchemist Nick Leme, the well-known historian Bashida Bassat, and Magic theorist Adebe Wolflin.
Several of his papers have been published in academic journals such as Today's Transfiguration, Magical Innovation, and Practical Potions Master.
Dumbledore had a great success at Hogwarts. He has been more famous than all the professors before he graduated. His future seems to be brilliant. The only question is when will he be the Minister of Magic. In the days that followed, although it was often predicted that he would hold this position, he never became a minister's ambition.
Three years after we entered school, Albus’s brother, Aberforth, also came to Hogwarts. Unlike the two brothers, Aberforth never loves to read books. Moreover, he likes to fight, and does not like to solve problems through rational negotiation. This is not like Albus.
However, some people say that the relationship between the two brothers is not good.
This is not in line with the facts. Although they are very different in character, they are fairly harmonious.
To be fair to Aberforth, it must be admitted that living in the shadow of Albus is not particularly comfortable. As a friend of hiss, he is always eclipsed by him. It is really bad morale; as a younger brother, it will certainly not be much pleasant.
After Albus and I left Hogwarts, I intend to travel around the world in accordance with the tradition of the time, visit and observe foreign wizards, and then pursue their own careers.
However, the tragedy fell from the sky.
Just the day before we set off, Albus’s mother, Candela, passed away. Albus became the head of the family and became the pillar of earning money to support the family.
I postponed the departure, took part in Candela's funeral, and then embarked on a lonely journey.
Albus had to take care of a younger sibling, and his family’s life was so tight that he could not travel with me.
During our lifetime, there was minimal contact during that time.
I wrote to Albus, depicting the strange sights of the journey, from the guest who escaped Greece to the test of the Egyptian alchemists, and so on.
It may be too unreasonable for me to do this because his letter rarely mentions his daily life.
I guess for a great wizard like him, it must be boring.
I was immersed in my travels, and when the year-long trip was over, the tragedy came again at Dumbledore's home; his sister, Ariana, died.
I was shocked. Although Arianna was so sick and sick for a long time, her mother died shortly after her death. The two brothers of Arianna could not be relieved for a long time.
All those who are close to Albus, I have the honor to count myself, agree that Arianna’s death, and Albus’s responsibility for this matter (of course, he is actually not guilty), Be the shadow that he can't get rid of all his life.
After I returned to China, I saw a young man who experienced the pain of an old man who was not commensurate with his age.
Albus is more reticent than before, and his mood is much heavier.
What is even more painful for him is that the death of Arianna not only did not make Albus and Aberforth closer, but made them alienated. (This kind of estrangement gradually improved, and later they re-established the relationship, even if it is not intimate, it is undoubtedly friendly.)
Since then, Albus has rarely talked about his parents and Arianna, and his friends have avoided talking about them.
In the following years, his brilliant achievements will be described by someone.
Dumbledore's great contributions to the treasure trove of witchcraft knowledge, including the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon blood, and the wisdom he showed in many judgments as the chief magician of Wissengarh, will benefit future generations. .
It is also said that no witch fight can match the contest between Dumbledore and Grindelwald in 1945.
Those who witnessed the two extraordinary wizards launching a decisive battle portrayed the fear and awe they felt at the time. Dumbledore's victory, and its influence on the wizarding world, is seen as a turning point in the history of modern magic, comparable to the introduction of the International Secrecy Act and the fall of the mysterious man.
Albus Dumbledore never succumbed to arrogance and pursued vanity.
He can always find something that others deserve to be cherished, no matter how lonely and inconspicuous the person looks.
I believe that it was his experience of losing his loved ones in his early years and endowed him with great kindness and compassion.
I will miss his friendship very much. However, compared with the entire wizarding world, my personal loss is nothing.
Undoubtedly, he is the most inspiring and most loved of the previous presidents of Hogwarts.
Whether he is alive or dead, he always works for a higher interest until the last moment of life, just like the day I first saw him on the Hogwarts Express, he was suffering from a dragon pimples The little boy extended his hand in a friendly way...
